About the Ports
Piraeus, the main port for Athens, maintains a large network of ferry routes to destinations including Crete (Heraklion and Chania), the Dodecanese islands like Kos and Leros, and the North Aegean island of Chios. The port of Milos, in the Cyclades island group, also has a direct ferry link to Heraklion on Crete.
Your destination
About Milos
Nearly every ferry to Milos ties up at one place: Adamas (Adamantas), the island's harbour on its huge natural bay. From Athens you sail from Piraeus — a SeaJets high-speed catamaran does it in roughly 2h35m, while slower conventional ferries take about 5–7 hours but shrug off the wind. Milos also links into the Western Cyclades chain (Sifnos, Serifos, Paros, Naxos), Santorini, and Crete. It is a volcanic island of coloured cliffs, the moonscape of Sarakiniko, and the boat-only cove of Kleftiko.
